Wiola Wołczyńska showed as part of the Off Out Of Schedule on Saturday 7th May 2011 at the fabulous Bielnik and Elektrownia at Podsiadło Ksiezy Mlyn venue.

Wiola Wo?czy?ska kicked off the Off Out of Schedule on Saturday morning with a collection that was a taste of things to come… overly long and massively in need of a serious edit. There was nice styling with side swept hair and calf length socks, more about but it went on… forever… and most of the looks were incredibly similar.

Polish born, British and Berlin educated Dawid Tomaszewski took pole position after The Golden Thread awards on Friday 6th May at Fashion Philosophy Fashion Week Poland. It was a beautiful, well styled collection.

Black, white, grey and red cropped up so many times at Fashion Week Poland that I lost count. These are The Golden Thread designers who took up the same minimalist colour scheme: Anya Kamarek, Damian Konieczny, Kinga Dubiel, Magdalena Herwich, Monika Blazusiak and Nina Krowlikowska.

Egg shaped, bulbous and oversized garments at The Golden Thread awards. Some of it worked really well, some of it nearly worked, and some of it just didn't... featuring Dominika Piekutowska Swed, Renata 'Miyabi' Molik, Igor Galas, Laura Holeczek and Martyna Idzikowska.

These designers work in very different ways, but they've all done the unthinkable (in Polish terms, from what I've seen) and embraced the use of pattern and colour. Meet Natalia Paliy, Domi Grzybek, Katharina Kubiak and Sofie Gaudaen.

On Friday 6th May 2011 I went straight in at the deep end at Fashion Philosophy Fashion Week Poland in Łódź. I sat through a two hour catwalk show for The Golden Thread Awards, and this is what happened.
